Especially when the weather’s sunny, it’s impossible to get bored in Las Vegas.

Between the pools and the casinos and the shows and the clubs and the museums and the shopping centers and the amusements and the restaurants and the extravaganzas and the galleries and the bars, it’s easy to keep busy.

Vegas has become such an unnavigable mess, here are our thoughts to help organize your next trip.

START HERE

The main reason to go to Vegas is the breadth of variety shows, from the music of Bette Midler to the Beatles and the spectacle of Cirque du Soleil to the city’s numerous topless revues. Here are our top picks of the shows running right now.

1 — Cirque du Soleil’s “Love,” the Mirage, 3400 Las Vegas Blvd. S., mirage.com, $93.50-$150 Cirque du Soleil was running out of ideas. Sure, its visuals have always been amazing, but the shows were bleeding into one another because of repeated acts and inane and samey music. Their smart solution: Borrow somebody else’s songs. “Love” is more about the Beatles’ music than it is about Cirque’s majestic stage pictures. The songs have been remixed and they’re played magnificently loud.

2 — Bette Midler’s “The Showgirl Must Go On,” Caesars Palace, 3570 Las Vegas Blvd., caesarspalace.com, $95-$250 What’s not to love about the Divine Miss M taking over Sin City? Even though this show needs work, what’s great is truly great. Midler manages the gigantic stage with grace and ease, cracking jokes and delivering ballads as only she can. But there’s also a lot of padding in this gig — too much for only a 90-minute show featuring a person of Midler’s experience and capability.

3 — “Spamalot,” Wynn, 3131 Las Vegas Blvd. S., wynnlasvegas.com, $69-$179 Faithful followers of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” are split on this one. It’s side-splittingly funny. Or it’s a watered-down version of the movie. Either way, this musical has found a home on Broadway — and in Las Vegas, of course. In the Wynn’s elaborate production, actor John O’Hurley (famous for playing J. Peterman on “Seinfeld”) plays King Arthur.

4 — Toni Braxton, Flamingo, 3555 Las Vegas Blvd. S., flamingolasvegas.com, $69-$109 Braxton isn’t the first name you’d think of when you picture elaborately staged, years-long Vegas residencies, but she’s doing just fine at the Flamingo, thank you very much.

5 — “Fantasy,” Luxor, 3900 Las Vegas Blvd. S., fantasyluxor.com, $49.50-$64.90 Some say that a trip to the Strip isn’t complete without a topless revue. This one is packed with music and a couple of performers who take you through the show via song. But the stars of this show are the dancing girls, who play out a number of fantasies for the audience before heading out to the merch booth for post-show autographs and pictures.

6 — Cirque du Soleil’s “Ka” at the MGM Grand, 3799 Las Vegas Blvd. S., mgmgrand.com, $69-$150 Yes, “Love” is all about the music. But “Ka” is the most spectacular show in Cirque’s ever-widening repertoire — largely because of the unique stage and the performers’ agility in navigating it both athletically and elegantly. This ticket is some of the best money you’ll spend in Las Vegas.

2 — The Platinum Hotel & Spa, 211 E. Flamingo Road, 702-365-5000, theplatinumhotel.com. It’s a couple of blocks off the Strip, but if you’re looking for luxurious comforts, big rooms with kitchens, affordable prices and a sizable pool area that won’t have you tripping all over tanning bodies, the Platinum is the hot ticket. Getting a taxi can be a bummer, so give yourself some extra time to make that Bette Midler curtain. Rates start at $149.

3 — Circus Circus, 2880 Las Vegas Blvd. S., 702-734-0410, circuscircus .com. This is Cheeseball Vegas at its most hilarious. You’re doing Vegas on a shoestring budget, and you’re set on staying on the Strip. There’s nothing wrong with Circus Circus, so long as you take it for what it is: A divey, past-its-prime hotel and casino that’s bound to be torn down in the coming decade in favor of something Wynn-like. Rates start at $46.95.

DINE

1 — L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, MGM Grand, 3799 Las Vegas Blvd. S. You’re splurging on one meal in Las Vegas? This should be it. The French-inspired cuisine of Joel Robuchon is heavenly. And this fine restaurant will provide you with the single best meal you’ll eat in this town. Go with the tasting menu ($125 per person) for the smartest way to really sample the kitchen’s wares, and be sure to ask for the wine steward to suggest pairings.

2 — Sensi, Bellagio, 3600 Las Vegas Blvd. S. If you’re spending this kind of money on a meal in Las Vegas, we suggest you go to L’Atelier — but come to Sensi for a light snack of fresh prawns ($10 each), champagne and eye candy. The restaurant is designed around three glass-enclosed kitchens, each with their own specialty: Italian, Asian and American.

3 — Rao’s, Caesars, 3570 Las Vegas Blvd. Leave it to Las Vegas to take a notoriously exclusive eatery — Harlem’s Italian food haven Rao’s and its 11 tables — and make it available to the masses. It’s more Vegas than New York, but the food (including a $12 side of their famous meatballs and pasta entrees in the $25 range) is solid.

4 — Firefly, 3900 Paradise Road, Suite A. In towns like Vegas, you have to wonder where the locals go for a nice meal. Look no further. Sure, this stylish tapas joint (with small dishes around $6-$15) is starting to see more tourist traffic, but it’s still a lovely off-the-Strip eatery with a spacious patio and an intimate bar.

5 — Peppermill, 2985 Las Vegas Blvd. S. One of the best rooms you’ll see anywhere in Vegas is this place’s Fireside Lounge. Make sure you stop in for a drink or appetizers ($10 range) in the garishly retro ultra- cocktail lounge. The tragedy is that to order real food — entrees, that is — you have to eat in the diner side of the restaurant.

6 — Carnival World Buffet, Rio, 3700 W. Flamingo Road. To some, Vegas is all about the buffets. And this one ($14.99-$23.99) is the granddaddy of them all. Why? Because they prepare more than 300 different dishes daily.

SHOP

1 — The Forum Shops, Caesars Palace, 3500 Las Vegas Blvd. When you think about it, you don’t need the gazillion Shopping Experiences Las Vegas has to offer. You would be perfectly satiated with one of these mega-luxury malls, and the Forum Shops is that ultimate experience that gives you everything you need.

2 — The Grand Canal Shoppes, Venetian, 3377 Las Vegas Blvd. S. The single best (oddest) shopping experience you can rock in Las Vegas is window shopping via gondola here. Catch a boat near the entrance of this mega-plaza, and you and yours can window shop the day away — and draw jealous glances from your fellow shoppers.

3 — Fashion Show Mall, 3200 Las Vegas Blvd. S. Call it Vegas Within Reach. You’re looking for more of a reasonable shopping outlet — something that resembles your mall at home. Here you go. It’s the perfect place to grab a collared shirt or dress shoes — required for entrance into many of Vegas’ nightclubs — if you forgot them at home.

4 — The Esplanade, Wynn, 3131 Las Vegas Blvd. S. You want to look for your next Ferrari while also picking out that perfect Cartier bracelet for your lady? The Wynn’s shopping Esplanade is like nothing else.

5 — Miracle Mile Shops, Planet Hollywood Resort, 3663 Las Vegas Blvd. S. A more reasonable offering is the Miracle Mile Shops at the Planet Hollywood Casino, formerly the Aladdin. Security personnel speed along the corridors on Segways, and many others use the shops as an air-conditioned shortcut as they traverse the Strip’s many offerings.

ENJOY

1 — The roller coaster atop New York-New York, 3790 Las Vegas Blvd. S., nynyhotelcasino.com., 866-815-4365. New York-New York is a lame hotel, especially considering that it’s not that old. But the roller coaster on the roof is still a thrill.

2 — The Fountains of Bellagio, 3600 Las Vegas Blvd. S., bellagiolasvegas.com., 888-987-6667. This indulgent spectacle never fails to drop jaws, no matter how many times you’ve seen it. It’s also one of the top places in the world to pop the question.

3 — The Liberace Museum, 1775 E. Tropicana Ave., liberace.com., 702-798-5595. Vegas is getting so polished, so serious. Why not indulge in silly, flashy, old Vegas with this trip down memory lane? This museum’s hardly big, so you’ll get the picture after an hour.

4 — Fremont Street Experience, 425 Fremont St., vintagevegas.com. The Strip can often be overwhelming, and we find it rejuvenating to retreat back into downtown Vegas. Equally charming is the Fremont Street Experience, the mega-light show that plays on the LED overhang on Fremont Street on the hour every night.

6 — Hofbrauhaus Beer Garden, 4510 Paradise Road, hofbrauhauslasvegas.com., 702-853-2337. No gigantic German monument-casino has yet been built — although it’s only a matter of time. You can still partake in this lively Biergarten experience, complete with brews and bands.
